Now this may be an old commercial according to the date published on YouTube, I however had never seen it until tonight. The night my standard of commercials was raised to a higher bar. Please enjoy.
 The Rural Alberta Advantage's album Home was released summer of last year. It's indie-rock, unpolished style is an awesome change to what I've had to listen to on the radio here. I swear Hawaii radio only knows three songs: Bad Romance, Sweet Dreams, and New York. Anyways, I know your going to enjoy this album and all it has to offer. My two favourite, and by far the best songs on the album are Frank AB, and Edmonton, not because of the names, but because they were obviously birthed from pure awesomeness. So check them out! Planning an Alberta road trip over the summer? Be sure to take this fantastic album along.
 Due to an earthquake in Chile early this morning, a tsunami warning has been sent out to the pacific, of which I am in the middle of right now. MSNBC is making it sound like the end of the world, therefore, it is. So here is my will, I love you all;
To my dear friend Bruce Le, oh the crazy Azn times we have spent together... No more. To you I leave my macbook so that I you may experience the pure joy of owning a mac. To Evan Lock, I can remember a time when I was taller than you....No more. I leave you my plane ticket to the Philippines. Live your life. To Bill Milligan, although I have not seen you in years, it seems like just yesterday we were sitting in Social class, you, already knowing the answers, me, grasping at concepts. To you I impart a double portion of my spirit on you. To my connection to back home Marie-Lise, To you I leave my Harry Potter series (just in case you need another copy of each), A Series of Unfortunate Events, and all the rest of my books. I wish I could have made it to the HP theme park with you. To my parents, I leave whatever is left in my bank account. Sorry 'bout that. Our world is in peril. Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our planet. She gives five special rings to five special young people. From Africa, Kwame with the power of earth. From the North America, Wheeler with the power of fire. From the Soviet Union, Linka with the power of wind. From Asia, Gi with the power of water and from South America, Ma-Ti with the power of heart. With the five powers combined they summon earth's greatest champion - CAPTAIN PLANET!  I attempted to make a mash up of You Found Me by The Fray and Leeland's Tears of the Saints. I tried desperately to find a way to get them fit together well for about 15 minutes in Garage Band. I failed miserably and gave up. :)
Also known as the humming bird is in fact, as pointed out in my previous post, the coolest bird in the world. So cool that I felt the need to share more on this amazing creature. So why hummingbirds? Well last week while in a meeting my friend was talking about hummingbirds, and I was amazed. I was then reminded of arriving home in September and seeing that my parents had purchased a hummingbird feeder. Now when is the last time you saw a hummingbird in the city of Edmonton?........ Exactly what I suspected, never. Anyways, so here are some amazing facts on hummingbirds that you can WOW and AMAZE all your friends with. (I won't be offended if you don't read on, promise)
-In regular flight, a hummingbird can beat it's wings up to 80 times per second and up to 200 times during a courtship dive. INSANE! -Their heart rate can reach up to 1260 beats per minute. THATS 21 TIMES PER SEC! - They can see farther than humans and also can see ultraviolet light. SUPER EYESIGHT! - When diving the hummingbird can reach speeds of 60 miles/hour. Fa - Self-serve frozen yogurt tastes heaps better than non-self-serve.
- Hummingbirds are the coolest birds on the entire earth, period. (more to come!) Well, I new the brutally simple story line had to be borrowed from somewhere, and it turns out it was from Pocahontas. Disney's fluffed up version nonetheless! Even down to the new-age, "one with nature" crap. Here's the proof:  Yesterday while perusing Urban Outfitters, I got asked twice, by two different people if I worked there. I dont, just in case you were wondering too.
